Sorry Crow, hate to disagree with you, but the line is bang on.  This is the biggest test of Roy Nelson's career.  Most of his victorties, especially recently in the IFL were against total cupcakes.  Yeah, he looked good on TUF, but again, he was matched up against some very inexperienced guys that made him look a lot better than he is.  Nelson also has had some difficulty in the past against strong strikers.  The Arlovski fight still is very fresh in my mind. 

BOL on the play, but I really think JDS KO's Nelso in round 1.

Yeah, I know. But he did knock out Struve about 20 seconds quicker than JDS did.

I have some money to play with and will probably make a play on JDS to win by KO/TKO

True, but he used the exact same strategy that JDS did ahead of him, which is bull-rush Struve right at the beginning of the round.  Struve does not handle early pressure well at all.  JDS, Stojic, and Nelson all did the same thing.  Stojic almost had Struve as well, but gassed out and got tapped in the 2nd round.

have to go with JDS, same reasoning as everyone else BUT his camp.

Silva, machedia, and the Nog brothers : i think thats a real strong camp to come from especially on TDD and stand up

Okay... rounding out tonight's plays

$90/$90 on Fitch at Even

$15/$45 on Todd Brown +300

$50/$115 Saunders/Fitch/Spider

$30/$51 Dos Anjos/Almeida

Fitch/Alves under 2.5 rounds $30/$45

Spider/Chael Under 2.5 rounds $48/$30

Nelson/Dos Santos Under 1.5 rounds $250/$200 - I am taking a chance with this as my hedge on the Nelson bet. And who knows... maybe Roy will pull a 1st round upset.
